The bug is still there in current cauldron

@ dmorgan:
Funny, there is no drakx-net maintainer, but this bug is still assigned to you, you even accepted it on 2011-03-02

Any news?

But, it is working in my Cauldron (in virtual machine, that is).

when I uninstalled drakx-net and hit that button, I was not prompted to install net_monitor 

The prompt not appearing, that is the bug

My mistake, i am sorry.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Assigning to blino.

@dmorgan: Did you already have anything finished, so that blino doesn't duplicate your work?

Please don't play with the bugzilla

Version: 2 => Cauldron
Severity: normal => enhancement

I do not want to "play" with the bugzilla.
I just want to put in "Version" that the bug is still valid in Mageia 2 as written in comment 16 and as I observed it in a fresh install of Mageia 2.
I made a mistake because I want to say that the bug in Cauldron before the release of Mageia 2 is still valid in Mageia 2. Sorry for that change.

But, concerning the severity, IMHO it should be "normal" and not "enhancement" because it is a bug : the button "Monitor" doesn't work after a fresh install. We have to know that the package net-monitor has to be installed manually.
Sorry for this change but I didn't expect that I had the rights to do that change.

Concerning the fix for this bug, I have search in the source code and I think that the fix should be here :

soft/drakx-net/trunk/lib/network/connection_manager.pm line 242 :

sub monitor_connection {
    my ($cmanager) = @_;
    my $interface = $cmanager->{connection} && $cmanager->{connection}->get_interface or return;
    run_program::raw({ detach => 1 }, '/usr/bin/net_monitor', '--defaultintf', $interface);
}

But I don't know the method to request an installation.

I hope that very little contribution should help the resolution.

increasing severity

(this is a bug that confuses a lot of users)

Severity: enhancement => normal
